the lighter side

Oh oh :( …Why the sad face? We miss now happy Caity *more sad face*
It doesn’t help that I visit her site…ah well, it’s okay; at least I see her. But to her auntie Carey, she said it’s better not to visit so she won’t miss her the more, when she sees her pics. Huh? Hmmmm [...]

Oh never mind that being-amused smile. I’ve been an absentee from this site, I know, but scrutinizing the dates of my posts, I’ve found out that I’ve been a laggard, more than I’d allow  (if only it could be!) myself to be. From December 7 to January 15, I’ve not posted any . Well, [...]

In a previous post, I said I’ll show later the architecture of Litomerice (”in another post: The Architecture of Litomerice … in time please”), and so here are some of their quaint and charming buildings, crafted with much meticulousness, as in other European designs of old!

The first church at the intersection. The spires are very [...]

As I stated in a previous post, that I’ll be back with the pics, so here they are:

Old Rauma (Vanha Rauma) is one of the two UNESCO cultural heritage sites of the town (which has grown into an industrial city now), so [...]

One thing that has fascinated me in Europe is the way the flowers bloom. It must be due to the cold weather that flowers there when they bloom are so profuse, it seems they give their all, to the delight of the beholder. Just like my previous post, the “Oh Lovely Daisies”. One of [...]

How time flies! We arrived at the Helsinki airport, on the evening of June 22, Sunday, with our daughter Cookie and her own cute Anzel to welcome us, and conduct us to Pori City where they now live.
It’s so unbelievable that we can set foot on these parts of the globe, and [...]

In Part I: “There is a part 2 to this search, we’ve found out something more done by (and in) Litomerice to honor our hero, and much much more than what we could expect. For our out-of-the-blue find, watch out for a later post: Jose Rizal in Litomerice Part 2.”
Some more walking [...]

Yesterday as usual we had our Sunday worship at the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague Church as I’ve always called it but which is officially the Church of our Lady Victorious, Karmelitska 9, Praha 1, Mala Strana.
This was a different Sunday however, for the 110th Philippine Independence Day (Kalayaan 2008) was being [...]
